The Foundation for Montessori Education, founded by Renilde Montessori in 1989, was the eventual culmination of several Montessori training programs in Toronto, the earliest being a program inaugurated by Mario Montessori at Victoria College, University of Toronto, in 1971. Renilde served as Director of Training at FME from 1989 to 1995 when she took on the position of General Secretary of the AMI. In 1996, FME became the first Montessori Teacher Training Centre to offer an Assistants’ Course. The FME offers the AMI Diploma for the Primary level (3-6 years) in an on-site, full-time course beginning in September each year. FME offers the two week AMI Assistants' Course in August each summer, as well as regularly conducting refresher courses, typically held over three days in the month of February.
